Nice !!!
The controls on the Tx don’t seem
too ergonomic for driving tanks, etc but running a standard 2-channel system
for driving and this system for turret rotate/elevate and weapon trigger looks
interesting …

There is a guy on
eBAY, e-madeinchn,
that sells 400MHz transmitter/receiver sets for low prices. I bought a 4
channel unit for $10~$12 and an 8 channel for $17~$20. They are ready to go
with batteries for the transmitter already loaded. The receiver board has
12v/10amp relays for the output and the receiver is also powered by 12v. Both
units I bought work like a charm. You can also get combinations of
momentary and latched outputs. For instance, the eight channel has 4 momentary
and 4 latched. On my R/C Boats, this lets me latch the running lights and
diesel engine sounds on and toggle the horn or siren. I just looked on eBAY and
found his 4 channel with momentary action for $13.50 + $5S/H. It is supposed to
have 200 meter range.

This might be a possible solution to a separate receiver in the turret.

rx.
At $80 a pop, I am not
ready to get a second one just yet just to find that out. Once I have the tank
running, I may do that later though.
I’m gonna try a
keyless remote door lock system. If no one else is using that kind of hardware,
I should be safe from frequency interference.
Thanks,
Martin

hi,
That’s very easy,
First you have to buy a second receiver, because your have a Spektrum
DX-6 or -7, you need the same receiver as your first one, witch use the same
channel (one of the 80) in the 2.4 band.
I’ve got a 35 MHz transmitter, with 2 35 MHz receivers, I only
have to use 3 of the same crystals and then it works great. Now I use 35.160. I
think that is one of the Advantage to work with crystals.
But before you buy a second one, you have to be sure that its work.
If you use 2 Receivers of 6 channels, then you have in total 6
channels!!!

How
would you do that without a second transmitter if you are using a Spektrum DX-6 or -7?

While suffering
several setbacks with my BT-7 chassis, I've turned my attention to my
turret. While surfing for a cheap slip ring assembly, I found a link to a
page showing ball bearings used as electrical contacts. I immediately
thought, what a simple solution to the "turret rotation"
problem. I've liberated four bearings from scrap motors at work and will
share my results.
